| - The first time I went to La Bocca was with my good friend Kim. She and I met up there and had a very....off experience. Our waiter seemed new and seemed very flustered. He told us the kitchen was SUPER busy...despite the fact that the restaurant was barely half full. Anyways, I came back with Kim and friends for her birthday this past weekend, and I am SO glad I did! Here goes:
Atmosphere: We all know Mill Ave can get a little wild, and quite a mish mosh of folks on saturday night. So, that being said when I walked into La Bocca I felt that the environment was very cool and sophisticated, while still being young.
Drinks: $5 sangria and a pitcher for $18? Sign me up. Everyone at the table drank sangria save for one couple that ordered Bells....which is a delicious beer out of K-zoo Michigan :). Anyhow, everyone enjoyed the rojo sangria.
Food: Hello deliciousness! I had the chopped salad and a truffle mushroom pizza. I ate the entire salad which had little tubetti pastas, bacon, blue cheese crumbles and a phenominal dijon vinagrette. The pizza....dear diary I am in love with this pizza. Mozzarella, goat cheese, mushrooms, truffle oil, tomato, fresh spinach....literally slices of heaven in my mouth. I ate all but two slices. Thats way more than anyone my size should ever eat. Must do that again.
The server: he was cool and seemed to have no problem handling the whole table of us. He even brought Kim carmel ice cream with a candle. A trick candle at that. Kudos my man.
Overall, we had a great time at La Bocca, and despite the strange experience the first time around i'll definately be returning.
